Chapter Forty-Eight: Clever Words and Deception, Tied Up

"What's the noise?" Shen Miao took the two guards, who were actually his gang of thieves, strode out and were facing Meng Jiucheng and the others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"But Shen Yuanwai?" Ni Yahui was just about to speak, Meng Jiucheng had already stepped forward, arched his hand slightly, showed his card, and said: "Ten thousand people in the city have sued you, robbed money and killed people, and his daughter Wan Xiuniang was also imprisoned here. The prime minister issued a signed ticket, and we waited to come to investigate. ā€

When Shen Miao heard this, he unconsciously relieved himself, and hurriedly shouted: "It's really Qu to kill Shen, what kind of robbery and murder, what kind of imprisonment of a loved one, it's really framed out of thin air, please send a master to investigate!" ā€

Meng Jiucheng shook his head and said, "Whether it is wronged or not, we have to investigate." The men and women in the house are all called, if there is a murderer with missing ears, or Wan Xiuniang is there, Shen Yuanwai will go to the county with me to argue. ā€

Shen Miao nodded hurriedly, feeling more at ease, called a nursing home, and ordered him to go down, and he accompanied Meng Jiucheng and the others.

"A certain family is good, famous near and far, and I invite the official to be more thoughtful." Shen Miao picked up a gap and secretly stuffed Meng Jiucheng with a few chances.

Meng Jiucheng took it quietly, smiled, and said, "Since it is good, there is no need to be afraid. It's just that if you don't check it, it's hard to go back. The right to take it, it's not difficult for you. ā€

"Thank you, sir." Shen Miao saw that Meng Jiucheng had accepted the bribe, and felt that it had nothing to do with Wan Xiuniang's case, so she was even more sure in her heart.

After a short time, the men and women in the house all came to the front of the hall to gather, the men stood on the left, the women stood on the right, and there were always more than 20 people.

"The female dependents will enter the hall and wait, and check the men first." Meng Jiucheng waved his hand, and the militia surrounded the seven or eight men, among whom there may be servants who do not know the details of the thief, but now is not the time to screen.

"Look, sir, how can there be a murderer here?" Shen Miao accompanied the smiling face, followed Meng Jiucheng, walked down the steps, and pointed to the people in front of the hall.

"yes, not really." Meng Jiucheng looked at Ni Yahui and Guo Chen, and the three of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Meng Jiucheng turned his head to look at Shen Miao again, and suddenly sneered, and shouted, "Shen Chun, your case has been committed." As he spoke, he pointed to the people in front of the hall, "Take them all." ā€

Shen Miao heard Meng Jiucheng call out his real name at first glance, his head slammed, he was dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a while.

Knives, guns, and sticks were all forced, and it was too late for the thieves to resist arrest. Some militiamen took out ropes and tied them one by one. Shen Miao was also kicked down by Guo Chen, stepping on the ground and unable to move.

"Meng Abssi is really a good plan, and he has to send this gang of thieves to the door." Ni Yahui laughed, both a compliment and a compliment.

"It didn't take much effort, but there was no fighting." Guo Chen was still a little unwilling, and he had similar thoughts to Meng Jiucheng.

Meng Jiucheng shook his head and said: "This gang of thieves is also commonplace, even if they dare to resist arrest, they will be knocked down three or five times, and they will not be enjoyable. ā€

"Wronged, wronged." Shen Miao reacted a little, but she still had a fluke mentality and shouted on the ground.

"Wronged fart. When death is imminent, he dares to quibble. Guo Chen scolded his feet harder, stepping harder, making Shen Miao's voice turn into a chirp.

After a short time, whether they were thieves or not, the men in the house were all tied up and strong, their mouths were gagged, and their heads were covered with a black cloth, much like the way to escort prisoners in later generations. Then, the female dependents were also kept in a single room.

"Search the house carefully, don't hide the thief. In addition to the main house, do not search for the time being, and look carefully for other places, so as not to miss the thief. Meng Jiucheng commanded the operation, sent someone to open the back door, let Wang Zhongfeng and others in, and sent someone to Shen Er's house to see if the operation was going well.

Ni Yahui smiled silently, thinking that Meng Jiucheng intended to give some benefits to the militia group. But he didn't say anything, but felt that if he let the county officials do this errand, he would have more private entrainment.

You must know that taking thieves to search for stolen goods has always been a means for officials to make a small fortune. Usually take the sign, and when they go to the suspect's house, the officials are like wolves and tigers, fists and bare hands, and bluff people half to death first. If you know what is at stake, take some money and take care of it, and you will be able to take care of it.

But if they don't know what's going on, and the officials don't see any movement, they will launch a ruthless attack. I only said that there were stolen goods in the house, and I searched everywhere. Although you have never dug up the ground, you have to hide it privately when you see it soft, so you will lose a lot.

Actually, Meng Jiucheng really didn't think so. Because the stolen goods that can be found on the surface are not important, let alone large-scale. The secret found out by Mei'er is the conclusive evidence of the thief's crime.

Here, the militia searched the courtyard of the house, and whether it was stolen or not, but felt that it was worth some money, moved it to the hall, and the boxes and cabinets were soon placed in piles.

After another moment, Wei Yingneng also rushed over with Liang Ertie and a few militiamen. There were some fighting, but there were no casualties, and more than a dozen men and women were taken and imprisoned.

"Now that Brother Wei is here, we can go to the big thief." Meng Jiucheng bowed his hand to the two undertakers, which was very polite, which was also the reason why he asked Jia She's important person to help, proving that he was not corrupt, and he did not hide in private and did not report it.

"Meng Absi is polite." The two messengers hurriedly returned the salute.

Meng Jiucheng stretched out his hand to invite, and called Guo Chen and a few militiamen to come to the main room together. After lighting the lamp and candle, Meng Jiucheng took a look and went straight to the wardrobe against the wall. opened the cabinet door and threw out the clothes inside, revealing the wall, Meng Jiucheng reached out and knocked on it, making a hollow sound.

"This is it." Meng Jiucheng laughed twice, stretched out his hand to grope by the cabinet, and touched something like a door latch, pulled it out hard, pushed the board wall, and immediately separated from the left and right, it turned out to be a small door.

"It's secret." Guo Chen saw Meng Jiucheng retreat and give everyone guidance, so he stepped forward and wanted to go in first.

"Be careful, don't hide thieves inside." Meng Jiucheng hurriedly pulled him and ordered, "Fetch the lantern." ā€

Guo Chen smiled, as if he thought Meng Jiucheng was too cautious, but with a lantern in one hand and a sword in the other, he carefully drilled in. Two militiamen, also armed with swords and lanterns, followed closely behind and entered the secret room.

Ni Yahui and Wei Yingneng were both secretly frightened and admired. Investigating the situation of the thief, it is so thoughtful, it is really powerful, and it is also a little incredible, no wonder Meng Jiucheng has always been full of confidence.

In the middle of the night, a militiaman came out to report that it was safe, and asked Meng Jiucheng and the three of them to go down to check.

The three of them gave in a little push, and then got in. Just a few steps away, it suddenly became clear that the lights and candles had been lit, and it was actually a small room, with several boxes and cages stacked.

"Since there is a lock, it is better to carry it up first, and then open it one by one for inspection." Meng Jiucheng checked it and groaned slightly, feeling that this place was a little narrow and inconvenient.

"It's a small place, and it's really inconvenient." Wei Yingneng agreed, and Ni Yahui also nodded yes.
